We had Sam Darnold

[SOJA]

The problem was .....we also had Matt Rhule at the time

Had to check to see what kind of material he had to work with........ yes, there was a guy called DJ something..... but that was about it.  Also, he had to run for his life.... a lot!!  (and his decision making was a "bit" iffy).  Happy for him now though.  Glad they took out the team that shouldn't have been there in the first place 

Kept Darnold and draft JSN. It's not like there weren't possibilities if we had been mildly intelligent.

I did a Sam once.

Under Sam we had the worst offense in the NFL, he sucked in Carolina get over it.

I think Darnold and Baker are great examples that's it's more than just the player. The Panthers organization during their tenures here was absolute trash. Both of these guys took 4-5 years to develop, bounce to multiple teams, and finally be placed in a great scenario for them to succeed. Structure and organization is more important than the player some times. Look what Patriots did this year, their roster was devoid of talent last year but you find the right coaching organization, add a few players in free agency and they are in the Super Bowl. These examples make me feel like we need to give Bryce more time to prove himself. If we let Bryce walk and he succeeds else where like Darnold and Baker, then it's the organization's fault and we can have Mahomes as our QB and it wouldn't even matter.

The Super Bowl is between a Quarter Back we had versus a Quarter Back we should of had.

I have to say, whatever the reason was, Baker was not good here, there was little indication he was gonna be good. 

Other than that I pretty much blame Tepper for the first 7 years of his stewardship being pure misery and full of fugtardedness. Things were finally somewhat improved upon in year 8. No coach under Tepper even smelled 8 wins before. And that coach did it with Bryce Young. While most people hated on him.

Shoulda woulda coulda, I'm happy for Sam, and I hope he wins the bowl. We have who we have now, deal with it or move on. Sam now, wasn't Sam when we had him. You could say he needed to go through Carolina to get to where he is now.

I'm happy for Sam.  I hope we wins the Superbowl.

He will forever get Panthers team chem in Madden Ultimate Team

It's funny...we had Drake Maye...

 

[WarPanthers89]

He got benched for THE……P.J. Walker

Remember his board telling me how crazy I was that we could build around him without trading all of our assets. You guys just wanted that 1st overall pick for a QB prospect so bad.
